Today, due to sleep deprivation, I wasn't paying attention to where the elevator stopped. I walked into a flat, thinking it was mine. It wasn't. It was the flat just beneath mine. FML

Today, at work I got in an elevator to go upstairs. It wasn't until the doors opened minutes later and people stepped in that I realized I had zoned out and forgot to press the button for the floor I needed. I then promptly exited the elevator and waited for the next elevator to go up in. FML

Today, I found out I sleepwalk. How you might ask? By awakening the moment just before I fell from the stairs. I was better off sleeping. FML

Today, I was late for work and sprinted to catch the elevator. I made it just in time, only to realize I was in the elevator alone and had just dramatically dived into it for no reason. FML

Today, I confidently walked into what I thought was my friend's apartment for a party, only to find a confused elderly couple staring at me. Turns out, I was not only three doors down from where I thought his front door was, I was also on the wrong floor. FML

Today, in the middle of the night, I got up to go get some water. When I came back, I was going to flop onto my bed, but I faceplanted into my floor. I'd forgotten that I'd rearranged my room and moved my bed. FML

Today, I went into a shop, not really completely awake. To get to the upper floor, I took the escalator... in the wrong direction. After about 30 seconds (which seemed like hours) trying to climb up the wrong way, my brain started working and by that time I already had a few amused spectators watching me. FML

Today, I sat on an elevator for 10 minutes thinking I was stuck. After waiting awhile I looked at the screen to see what floor I was stuck on, only to realize I hadn't pressed a button so I had just stayed on the ground floor. FML

Today, my building's elevators were temporarily out of service. I climbed up 17 flights of stairs only to realize I left my keys downstairs. After the painful climb back up, the elevator lights came on. FML

Today, I drunkenly staggered home and crashed on the couch. When I woke up I realized it wasn't my house. FML

Where are we?

By Jobless - 22/09/2024 00:00 - Canada

Today, I got in the elevator with my dog and pressed the button for my floor. Instead of going up, it dropped two floors and opened up to a random basement room filled with nothing but mannequins, and wouldn't go back up. I had to fumble our way to the stairs. FML

I had someone walk into my apartment thinking it was his friends. l learned to lock my door after that. Maybe they'll learn the same thing.

The layouts are just the same on every floor, it's not that mysterious.

You didn't start shooting the people inside the wrong flat, did you?

The first thing I thought of was that cop who shot a dude living I'm the apartment below her and claimed she thought she went into her own apartment and saw a silhouette and shot in self defense...

huh so your elevator's go directly to your apartment and not a hallway on the second third fourth etc floor? that's just odd. there must be lots of elevators in that building.

I did this a week after my first husband died in our apartment. Well, didn't get in, because my key wouldn't work. As I was fumbling the knob started to turn as the resident came to check what was up. I'm not a believer in the supernatural but being distraught and very sleep deprived I was addled. For a split second I figured a ghost was turning that knob and I let out a deafening scream lol. Resident's POV: a screaming stranger tried to get in. Poor them! Luckily we are Canadian so none of us were armed and the situation de-escalated instantly.
